Dairy farmers are going out of business due to the ethanol created price increase in grain. 22 of 140 farms in my county are up for sale with no buyers. 5-7 will go bankrupt this year.

I had a talk with a rancher friend of mine from the Texas panhandle, who is feeling some of this pressure. Not helping to the mater is that displaced Californians are moving into the the area that have a distinct dislike for ranchers.

Right.

Anyone who thought the concept of burning food for fuel was a damned fool. LOL.

This country is getting a good lesson in economics these days . . . or at least those who are willing to understand what's going on are.

This is disgusting. We have to pay more for a basic, essential food like milk because corn is being grown to make ethanol to fuel the gas guzzlers that idiots in this country refuse to give up. Go out and buy a fuel efficient car and get rid of the Hummers, Envoys, Expeditions, etc. Drive less so the people at the lower end of the economic scale can afford gas and milk and our country isn't hostage to the likes of Saudi Arabia and Iran. Don't wear out our precious farmland by raising corn to fuel dinosaur automobiles.
